954 Asiatic Society. [Nov. 



I have recently dispatched to you, through Messrs. Allen and Co., the busts of Sir 

 W. Jones and Mr. Colebrooke, which I doubt not will afford the Society much 

 satisfaction. The bill i-emitted by you of 136/, has been realised, but the charge is 

 a trifle more, being 142/. lOi 1 . including the expense of reducing the bust of Sir W. 

 Jones from the more colossal proportions of the statue in St. Paul's, and the expense 

 of packing. I have paid the balance. The funds you have placed at my disposal 

 will probably allow it to be deducted from them without inconvenience, if not, I 

 can draw upon the Society for the amount. 



Mr. James Prinsep, I am sorry to state, continues in the same condition. There is 



no sensible improvement, but he is not apparently worse than he was six months ago. 



Yours very sincerely, H. H. WILSON. 



To Dr. O'Shaughnessy. 



Resolved — That the amount advanced by Professor Wilson, for the purposes above 

 mentioned, be forthwith remitted to him, with a suitable acknowledgment of the 

 trouble be has taken in forwarding the busts.

Read a letter from the Secretary to the Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries of 



Copenhagen, acknowledging the receipt of two specimens of ancient warlike weapons, 



presented by the Society through Dr. Cantor, and intimating his having forwarded 



several articles for the use of the Society. 



Royal Society of Northern Antiquaries, 

 Copenhagen, 18/A October, 1838. 

 Dear Sir, — We received by Dr. Cantor your letter of 18th October last year, 

 together with two specimens of ancient warlike weapons of copper, for our Museum. 

 These we consider as of importance for our collection, and we shall take a future 

 opportunity of writing more particularly on this subject. It would be very interesting 

 if we could obtain a few more such matters of different sorts from India. Dr. Cantor 

 is a good judge of northern antiquities, and knows what will be of greatest interest to us 

 in a scientific point of view. 



I take the present opportunity to inform you, that I have dispatched from our Society 

 to yours the following articles, which I hope will arrive safely.

 ber, 1837.)—
